Bluesfest food as varied and exotic as the music

IT'S well known that Bluesfest attracts musicians and festival punters from all over the world.

It may however come as news to some that the food on offer is just as diverse and exotic as the people and music.

In the main food court alone there is cuisine from a multitude of nations including India, France, Japan, Australia, America, China, Greece and Germany.

Many of the food stalls are regulars on the Northern Rivers festival circuit but new to the scene is the Mexican-inspired Guzman y Gomez, a stall established by those behind the Byron Bay restaurant of the same name.

Owner Tom Wright said Bluesfest was a great opportunity for local businesses to promote their food to a wider market while bringing in a bit of extra income.
